A member asked:
Have had hemorrhoid for years. rarely bleeds. tonight after a hard stool it bled. is that dangerous--losing blood too quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your anal sphincter (muscle) COMPRESSES the hemorrhoid making a lot of blood loss unlikely. OVER TIME HOWEVER anemia may result! Talk with your PCP (Primary Care Provider) about Treatment for your condition! Hope this helps! Dr Z
